Dear Cancer Project supporter,

This low-fat, high-protein recipe is delicious! You may reduce the sauce ingredients if you wish to cut down on the sodium and sugar content even more. Somen noodles can be found at most health food stores and specialty markets, but you can substitute udon or soba noodles as well.

Cook noodles according to package instructions. Drain, rinse, and set aside in a large bowl.

Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Mist pan with a little vegetable oil spray and add tofu. Cook until golden on both sides. Remove tofu and set aside. In the same skillet, sauté mushrooms, cabbage, zucchini, and green onions until tender. Add a little water or vegetable broth to prevent sticking, if needed. Add tofu and veggies to noodles.

In a small bowl, combine vinegar, soy sauce or tamari, and agave nectar. Pour over noodles and toss.
